CCI Mean Reversion

Buys when CCI signals price is unusually low (-100) and sells when it is unusually high (+100).

Entry Logic

Buy when CCI(20) crosses below -100 — typical price is far below its 20-day average.

Exit Logic

Sell when CCI crosses above +100 — price is far above the average.

How Rules Combine

CCI = (TP - SMA TP)/(0.015×Mean Deviation) where TP=(H+L+C)/3. Beyond ±100 price is about 1.5 deviations away.

When It Works (Market Edge)

Mean reversion in choppy markets where deviations snap back toward the average.

When It Fails

New trends: CCI crossing +100 can confirm a breakout that then runs — fading it in a trend loses.

Common Myths

Myth: CCI above 100 means sell immediately.

Truth: In a fresh uptrend CCI stays above 100 while price keeps rising. It confirms momentum; fading it fights the trend.
